1:37 in the Chuckanuts, ran Hemlock to Salal to Pine & Cedar lakes, back up Raptor Ridge and back down Hemlock. It's been pouring so the trails were nice and muddy.

Had the opportunity to try out a pair of DS Trainers from Asics today and was impressed. With how rigid the shoe is and its firm cushioning I expected it to be uncomfortable for a regular run, but I really like them. I ran my regular Padden loop from my place before the rain really set in, and it was quite enjoyable.

10 easy on the Urb. I was attacked by an owl in the first mile of my run this morning. Something heavy and sharp hit the back of my head and pulled up. I turned around in time to see it making a second swoop, but managed to scare it off. Weird. I've heard of this happening in the dark but didn't think they would confuse me for prey in daylight.
